FRAMERATE is a contemplative artwork and a shared experience. The audience will bear witness to landscape alterations caused by industry and the immense forces of nature; destruction, extraction, habitation, harvests, growth, and erosion. Created from thousands of 3D time-lapse scans of British landscapes, the work observes change on a scale impossible to see with your eyes or the lens of traditional cameras. Stories unfold across an array of screens. Hypnotic imagery surrounds the visitor. Audio filters through the space. This is not just an artwork. The data contains ground-breaking scientific research and a glimpse into the future of a perpetually documented planet.
